Coaches please listen to the audio file from our AYSO National Coach John Ouellette with regard to “blowouts.”
Take the opportunity to challenge and advance your players in a game that is a potential blowout.
A potential blowout is a game that is 3-0 anytime during the first half of the game.
Challenge 1: give all your players an opportunity to score a goal.
Challenge 2: have your players take shots outside the 18 yard line.
Challenge 3: determine what you need to work on and challenge your players (next goal needs to come from a cross, a through ball, or have them play 3-touch soccer and see if they can maintain control of the ball and score, etc.)
Hey Coach!
"What is the best way to deal with blow-outs? And how do I motivate players after a blowout?"

Thanks!

Coaches please share this with your parents:
AMERICAN YOUTH SOCCER ORGANIZATION (AYSO)
Vision Statement
To provide world class youth soccer programs that enrich childrens lives.
Mission Statement
The AYSO Mission is to develop and deliver quality youth soccer programs which promote a fun, family environment based on the AYSO philosophies.
Parent Code of Conduct
As a parent, you play a special role in contributing to the needs and development of youngsters.
Through your encouragement and good example, you can help assure that all the boys and girls learn good sportsmanship and self-discipline. In AYSO, young people learn to work together, to sacrifice for the good of the team, to enjoy winning and deal appropriately with defeat - all while becoming physically fit and healthy. Best of all, they have fun.
Support Your Child
Supporting your child by giving encouragement and showing interest in their team is very important.
Help your child work toward skill improvement and good sportsmanship in every game. Teach your child that hard work and an honest effort are often more important than victory - that way your child will always be a winner despite the outcome of the game!
Always Be Positive
Parents serve as role models for their children. Become aware of this and work to be a positive role model. Applaud good plays by your child's team as well as good plays by the opposing team.
Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from youth sports activities.
Remember: Your Child Wants To Have Fun
Remember that your child is the one playing soccer, not you. It's very important to let children establish their own goals - to play the game for themselves. Take care not to impose your own standards and goals on them.
Don't put too heavy a burden on your child to win games. Surveys reveal that 72% of children would rather play for a losing team than ride the bench for a winning team.
Children play for the fun of playing.
Reinforce Positive Behavior
Positive reinforcement is the best way to help your child achieve their goals and their natural fear of failure. Nobody likes to make mistakes. If your child does make one, remember it's all part of learning, so encourage your child's efforts and point out the good things your child accomplished.
Don't Be a Sideline Coach or Referee
Coaches and referees are usually parents just like you. They volunteer their time to help make your child's youth soccer experience a positive one. They need your support too.
That means refraining from coaching or refereeing from the sidelines. As a volunteer organization, there's usually always an opportunity for you to take your interest in coaching or refereeing to the next level and become one yourself!
